Windows 286/2.11 "Memory Parity Interrupt".

Twiggy

It seems that now every time I try to start Windows, the title screen comes up and then displays:

"Memory parity interrupt at 103D:006D

Type (S)hut off NMI, (R)eboot, other keys to continue".

When I do any of these things, nothing happens, except for when I reboot, but that just literally rests the computer.

What's up here?

You probably have developed a bad ram chip. You can confirm this by running Check It 2.1: https://winworldpc.com/product/checkit-pro/21

30-286

That error seems to be right on the line of whatever bank the 2nd bank of 64kb occupies so that should narrow down how many dram chips you need to replace to hopefully just 1.

I am not getting that error message now.

However here are the results from the memory test I ran with Check It:

Try swapping around your RAM chips (i.e if RAM chip A is in slot A and RAM chip B is in slot B, then put chip A into slot B and chip B into slot A) and show us the results from Check It.
